Elantris was my first Sanderson novel. Took it with me for a holiday. Biggest mistake of my life. I had to wait until the holiday was over to rush to the library to borrow as many other cosmere novels as I could. One of the less polished of his novels but still very enjoyable. The Emperor's Soul is amazing.

I'm bursting with excitement. I haven't seen a new Star Wars film since TLJ (Have not and will not watch Solo).
I personally disagree with the Force Awakens being considered a remake of A New Hope but that's a discussion for another time.
Here's to hoping for a great finale!

Man walks into a Azish clinic to see a doctor. He tells the doctor he feels alone in an uncaring world.
The doctor says "Treatment is simple. Go see the great Worldsinger Pagliacci. He'll make you feel better."
Man bursts into tears. "But doctor," he says, "I am Pagliacci."4 -
This probably isn't relevant now but Brandon actually did a project-in-depth episode on TES

Neil Gaiman's producing it... I think.
Apparently a writer from Doctor Who is writing on the show (I've never watched the show myself)

This is an interesting afterlife system you've developed here. So in this universe of yours the world has a finite lifespan, correct? Seeing as how the finite stage of afterlife correlates with that of the world. So there is a creation/destruction cycle to the world then. Interesting.
I've got a couple more questions I hope you wouldn't mind answering (afterlife systems fascinate me so sorry if the questions are a bit excessive):
SpoilerIn the living world, how knowledgeable are people about the afterlife and how it functions?
Are people aware of the finite lifespan of their world?
What defines a 'good' or 'evil' action/life? Is there some form of objective scale like in Egyptian mythology?
What of a soul that is not fully developed or not functioning properly? (an infant or an elder suffering from something like dementia?Who determines who goes through what form of afterlife? Is it one divine being? A god of sorts? A council of spirits like in Greek Mythology?
Does a spirit's time in the finite term inform what the infinite term will be? i.e: Will a spirit that feels genuine remorse be granted access to Heaven or neutral?

Pretty cool. How long would 'finite' be?

I was watching a Patrick H Willems video about shared universes.
He discussed how more shared universes should be less like the MCU and only hint at a greater universe, with the occasional reference or character appearance.
The whole time I was shouting "THE COSMERE! THE COSMERE! THE COSMERE! THE COSMERE! THE COSMERE!"

Sorry if there is some obvious answer I'm missing but in regards to the letters that appear in Oathbringer between Hoid, Frost and Harmony, how are the letters being exchanged?

Nightblood's function is to Destroy Evil. So if it were to be held by Hoid what would be considered evil?

This could be an interesting gateway to discuss philosophical discussions such as free will and 'what makes us human?' in regards to forging a soul.
Another point of discussions could be how our subjective perceptions influence our objective realities in literal and metaphorical ways.

I have a theory.
Colour is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum. (Wikipedia link here.)
So could other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum be used as fuel?
